Closing of TCNJ's counseling clinic leaves clients in limbo

EWING — The counseling clinic on the College of New Jersey’s campus has been a lifeline for many people.

A mother of three whose autistic son’s behavioral and emotional problems took a toll on her marriage and family life; a graduate student who struggles with depression and anxiety but can’t afford her co-pay; and countless others.

But come mid-May, they will have to find a new place to go.

The college is closing the TCNJ Clinic, leaving more than 100 clients in limbo and forcing some counseling students to look elsewhere for their practicums and internships.
